The most successful people do these 3 things:

You don't need to have all the answers to be successful. 

It comes from being brave enough to ask the right questions, take the leap, and figure it out along the way. 

So many of us wait for the perfect moment, the perfect plan, or the perfect answer. 

But here’s the truth: you’ll never have it all figured out from the start.

Real success is about being curious, taking action, and learning as you go. 

It’s about trusting yourself to make bold moves, even when the path ahead isn’t fully clear.

👉 Here are 3 ways to start moving forward today:

1. Ask better questions: Instead of asking, "What if I fail?" try asking, "What can I learn from this?" 

2. Take imperfect action: Waiting for everything to be perfect only leads to missed opportunities. Make that call, pitch the idea, or start the project. 

3. Embrace uncertainty: Success isn’t about having a foolproof plan. It’s about trusting yourself to adapt, grow, and figure it out along the way.

This Is What Separates the 1%

Most people wait for the perfect moment but the 1%?

They don’t wait, they act.

A great curation by Cesar Solis.

👉 It’s not about luck.
👉 It’s not about resources.
👉 It’s about MINDSET.

While others focus on why they can’t, the 1% focus on how they will.

🔑 Relentless consistency: They show up when it’s tough, when they don’t feel like it, and when no one else is watching.
🔑 Unwavering vision: They stay laser-focused on their goals, blocking out distractions, and saying no to anything that doesn’t align with their future.
🔑 Continuous learning: They’re always evolving. Every setback is a lesson.

Success isn’t reserved for the chosen few, it’s for those who choose it.

Every. Single. Day.

"Later" is the biggest lie we tell ourselves.

We always think we have more time but...

The truth is, “later” is a thief. 

It robs us of the now, those opportunities right in front of us that we keep putting off. 

Whether it's a dream you’ve been wanting to chase, a conversation you’ve been meaning to have, or a simple moment of joy...

Don’t wait.

📌 Take action today with these simple steps:

1. Break it down: That big goal you’ve been postponing? Break it into small, manageable steps and do the first one today. Momentum builds from the tiniest actions.

2. Schedule it: The conversation you’ve been meaning to have? Put it in your calendar now. Don’t leave room for “someday”, make it today.

3. Prioritize joy: Even small moments like that cup of coffee or taking a walk can bring joy. Don’t put off the little things, they add up to a life well-lived.

The things you keep postponing could be the moments that change everything.

Don’t wait for “later” to become “too late.”

Your network is your net worth.

It’s not about the number of connections or how full your contact list is.

It’s about the quality of those relationships.

When you invest in meaningful relationships (the kind where trust, support, and mutual growth thrive), you create opportunities that are far more valuable than any transaction.

Here are three ways to invest in your network:

➡️ Give more than you take. Share insights, lend a hand, or celebrate someone’s wins without expecting anything in return.
➡️ Seek depth over breadth. Focus on nurturing a few meaningful connections instead of spreading yourself too thin.
➡️ Be genuinely curious. Take time to understand people’s goals and passions, it builds trust and fosters stronger bonds.

Some of the best opportunities in my life, professionally and personally, didn't come from cold outreach or sheer luck. 

They came from the relationships I've nurtured over time.

Ask yourself: What’s one way you’ve invested in a meaningful relationship recently?

Your year won’t be defined by everything you try.
It will be defined by the one thing you don’t back out of.
__

That’s why the most powerful way to create a year-defining year
is to choose one commitment.

Some people call this a misogi.

A misogi is:
 ↳ deliberately hard
 ↳ slightly scary
 ↳ meaningful enough that if you do just this, you’ll know the year mattered
—
So how do you find yours?

Here are a few questions I’ve used in the past to find mine:

1. What’s the one thing you’re avoiding because it would require becoming someone new?

2. If you couldn’t quit halfway through the year, what would you commit to?

3. What effort would make this year feel unmistakably different from the last few?

4. If success wasn’t guaranteed, what would still feel worth attempting?

5. What single commitment would simplify your decisions all year long?

—
And if you’re looking for inspiration, here are a few real-world examples:

↳ Publish 100 pieces of content in 100 days
↳ Have uncomfortable conversations you’ve been avoiding
↳ Pitch yourself to 50 people you admire
↳ Complete 75 Hard
↳ Train for and compete in HYROX
↳ Travel solo to a country you’ve never been
—

Most people spend the year chasing momentum.
The ones who change their life choose one brave thing,
and stay with it longer than feels comfortable.

Most people only know one type of rest while ignoring the other six that are equally crucial for restoration:⁣
⁣
1: Physical Rest⁣
↳ Your muscles and joints need passive recovery and active recovery.⁣
↳ Physical exhaustion compounds when you ignore your body's signals.⁣
⁣
2: Mental Rest⁣
↳ Your brain needs breaks from problem-solving and information processing.⁣
↳ Mental fatigue creates brain fog and poor judgment.⁣
⁣
3: Emotional Rest⁣
↳ Being authentic with trusted people instead of people-pleasing constantly.⁣
↳ Emotional exhaustion happens when you suppress feelings too long.⁣
⁣
4: Spiritual Rest⁣
↳ Connect with your goals and why on a deep visualization level.⁣
↳ Spiritual depletion creates emptiness and lack of direction.⁣
⁣
5: Social Rest⁣
↳ Distinguish between relationships that drain versus restore your energy.⁣
↳ Wrong social environments exhaust you.⁣
⁣
6: Sensory Rest⁣
↳ Give your eyes, ears, and nervous system a break from constant stimulation.⁣
↳ Sensory overload creates irritability and difficulty concentrating on simple tasks.⁣
⁣
7: Creative Rest⁣
↳ Expose yourself to beauty and wonder instead of constantly producing content.⁣
↳ Creative burnout happens when input becomes purely functional.⁣

7 Types of Rest That Actually Restore Your Energy

Bad decisions aren't just costly ⁣
⁣
They compound over time.⁣
⁣
The difference between happy people and everyone else isn't luck.⁣
⁣
It's their ability to consistently make choices that align with their goals⁣.
⁣
Not their current emotions.⁣
⁣
Here are 8 decision-making frameworks that eliminate regret:⁣
⁣
1: The 10-10-10 Rule⁣
↳ Ask how you'll feel about this decision in 10 minutes, 10 months, and 10 years.⁣
↳ This time perspective reveals if you're making an emotional or strategic choice.⁣
⁣
2: Values-Based Filtering⁣
↳ Every decision should align with your core values.⁣
↳ When your choices match your principles, regret becomes impossible.⁣
⁣
3: Reversable Choices⁣
↳ Distinguish between decisions you can easily change and permanent ones.⁣
↳ Move fast on reversible choices but take time with irreversible ones.⁣
⁣
4: The Regret Minimization Framework⁣
↳ Imagine yourself at 80 years old looking back at this moment.⁣
↳ Choose the path that minimizes regret from your future self's perspective.⁣
⁣
5: Opportunity Cost Analysis⁣
↳ Every yes is a no to something else - choose the best value option.⁣
↳ The best decisions aren't just good, they're better than all alternatives.⁣
⁣
6: Energy and Intuition Check⁣
↳ Notice how your body feels when you imagine each option.⁣
↳ Decisions that align with your authentic self create energy.⁣
⁣
7: Stakeholder Impact Assessment⁣
↳ Consider how your decision affects everyone important in your life.⁣
↳ Great decisions create value for multiple people.⁣
⁣
8: The Advice Test⁣
↳ Ask what you'd tell your best friend if they were facing this exact same decision.⁣
↳ We often give others clearer guidance than we give ourselves.⁣
⁣
Which framework will you try?⁣

8 Ways to Make Decisions You'll Never Regret

This is what happens when organizations create space for employees to show up as themselves.

Encouraging employees to post doesn’t dilute a brand, it multiplies it.

This is a perfect example of how employee advocacy fuels both personal growth and company visibility.

Congrats on 10k Aston!

Senior QA Automation Engineer @ Resilience | 3M+ impressions helping testers land automation roles

🎉 10,000 Followers!
 
Here’s How It All Started

Exactly 1 year ago, I was sitting in a quarterly planning meeting at Planoly when something clicked.

We had invited Hetali Mehta, MPH to speak about growing your personal brand on LinkedIn. She broke down the fundamentals of consistent posting, and I was hooked. I’d already been watching peers like Truett Bloxsom post more frequently and wondered if I could do the same.

That day, I posted my first piece of content. I haven’t stopped since.

Here’s what 1 year of posting 6 days a week has brought me:
→ ~9,000 new followers in the QA automation space
→ More than 3 million impressions
→ Countless connections with incredible QA engineers worldwide
→ A full content business process that supports my education platform
→ More learning than I could have imagined from this amazing community

The real win? It’s not the follower count. It’s the conversations, the questions you’ve asked, the wins you’ve shared, and the incredible QA professionals I’ve had the privilege to connect with.

To everyone who’s engaged, commented, shared, or simply followed along: thank you. You’ve made this journey worth every single post.

Here’s to another year of growth, learning, and building together!

You’ve built the resume. You’ve climbed the ladder. You’ve checked all the boxes.
But behind the scenes… you’re second-guessing your next move.

You’re the one others rely on - the mentor, the achiever, the calm in the room.
So why do you feel stuck?

Why are you scrolling job boards at night with no intention of hitting “apply”?
Why are you mentoring others to rise while quietly shrinking inside?

Here’s what I know:
You’re not broken.
You’ve just outgrown the version of success you were trained to chase.

💡 Imagine if you could:
• Pivot or rise into your next role with clarity and confidence 
• Speak up and be seen as a leader without burning out
• Set boundaries that actually stick
• Wake up grounded, energized, & proud of who you’re becoming

That’s the transformation I help women create - by guiding them back to themselves.


👋 Hi, I’m Jaspreet - High Performance Coach, creator of the 𝗔𝗦𝗖𝗘𝗡𝗗 𝗠𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗱™, Microsoft alum, & mom who knows what it’s like to lead and still feel lost.

I was born in a small town in India where girls were expected to stay quiet and stay in line.

But my father chose differently & raised me to believe I could do anything a boy could do & more.

I became the first girl in my family to attend university. I broke records. I led teams at Microsoft.

And still, I battled self-doubt, imposter syndrome, & the pressure to be the “good girl” who didn't rock the boat.

It took years of unlearning, identity work, & real support to finally lead from wholeness, not performance.

Now, I help other high-achieving women do the same.


💼 What I Do
I help high-achieving professional women who are "successful on paper" but unfulfilled in their current careers make bold, soul-aligned moves - without starting over or losing themselves.

Through my 1:1 coaching experience, 𝗔𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗛𝗘𝗥 𝗔𝘀𝗰𝗲𝗻𝗱, I guide you through the 𝗔𝗦𝗖𝗘𝗡𝗗 𝗠𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗱™, a 6-part framework to shift from proving to powerful:

✔️ 𝗔lign with your power
✔️ 𝗦trengthen your mindset & capacity
✔️ 𝗖larify your next high-impact move
✔️ 𝗘mbody executive energy
✔️ 𝗡avigate with boundaries & grace
✔️ 𝗗istinguish your leadership & brand


If this sounds like you,

Jaspreet Gill, MBA

Most women don’t leave corporate
because they’re “unhappy.”

They leave because they realize the life they’re building
no longer matches the woman they’re becoming.

When I walked away from a career
that looked impressive on paper,
I learned 5 𝘵𝘳𝘶𝘵𝘩𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺 
𝘢𝘮𝘣𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘶𝘴 𝘸𝘰𝘮𝘢𝘯 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸👇

1️⃣ 𝗦𝘂𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗼𝗻 𝗽𝗮𝗽𝗲𝗿 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀𝗻’𝘁 𝗴𝘂𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗲 𝗳𝘂𝗹𝗳𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁.
 You can have the title, salary, and recognition and still feel empty. 
 Fulfillment comes from alignment, not achievement.

2️⃣ 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹 𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗸𝘆 𝗮𝘁 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁.
 When a role has defined you for years, stepping away can feel like losing a part of yourself. 
 That discomfort isn’t failure. It’s growth.

3️⃣ 𝗙𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀𝗻’𝘁 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗽.
 It simply shifts. From fear of staying stuck… to fear of what’s next. 
 Courage is never the absence of fear, it’s forward movement despite it.

4️⃣ 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗻𝗲𝘁𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘂𝗺𝗲. 
 Opportunities rarely come from job boards.
 They come from conversations, relationships, and 
 being top-of-mind when someone says, 
 “𝘐 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘸𝘩𝘰 𝘸𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘣𝘦 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘧𝘦𝘤𝘵 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴.”

5️⃣ 𝗥𝗲𝗶𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲𝘀 𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸. 
 Rebuilding isn’t linear - it’s layered, uncomfortable, and deeply clarifying.
 Give yourself permission to evolve without rushing the timeline.

Save this post for the day you catch yourself whispering: 
“𝗜𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗶𝘁?”

Your best days aren’t the problem. Your baseline is.

When I was at Microsoft, my calendar looked like a game of Tetris.

Back-to-back calls, 
multiple time zones, and 
getting my kids ready for school 
before the day even started.

So when I set goals like “daily journaling” 
or “hour-long workouts,” 
they only worked on perfect days. 

On real days? Nothing. 

Not because I lacked discipline,
but because my goals only fit 
the version of me when life was smooth.

And life isn’t smooth - it’s layered, unpredictable, human.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝗵𝗶𝗳𝘁:
I redesigned my baseline:
• 10 minutes of movement
• 5 minutes of journaling
• One needle-moving task before noon

Here’s what surprised me: 
𝗹𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗺𝘂𝗺 𝗿𝗮𝗶𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗺𝘆 𝗮𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗲. 

I stopped “falling off.” Momentum compounded.

High-achievers don’t need bigger goals. 
We need baselines we can keep on hard days.

Because consistency isn’t about perfection,
it’s about designing for reality.

What’s one goal you could trim down to a 𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗯𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲 this month?

Drop it below, I’d love to see what feels sustainable for you ♥️

Promotions don’t go to the hardest worker.
They go to the person people 𝘭𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘯 𝘵𝘰.

If this stings a little, good...
that means you’re exactly who I’m talking to.

Because here’s the truth most 
high‑achieving women learn too late:
• You can’t outwork a perception problem.
• You can only out‑communicate it.


If you’ve been:
• Delivering results without getting visible
• Speaking up but getting talked over
• Taking on more work hoping it will “pay off”

It won’t.
Not the way you’re imagining.


Women in senior roles aren’t rising 
because they’re doing more.
They’re rising because 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳 𝘷𝘰𝘪𝘤𝘦 𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘴 𝘸𝘦𝘪𝘨𝘩t.

Authority isn’t loud.
It’s intentional.

It’s the clarity, conviction, and presence that makes people stop and take you seriously.

If you’re done being overlooked and ready to build
the kind of presence that gets promoted, stick around.

I break this down every week♥️

𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸–𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 > 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸–𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲 𝗯𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲.

Work–life balance treats work and life
as two competing worlds.

High-performers know they’re intertwined,
and alignment matters more than balance.

When your career and life are designed 
to support each other,
you don’t have to choose between 
success and sanity - you get both.

I’m curious: 
𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗱𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱 - 𝗯𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗼𝗿 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻?

Tuesday evening. 
Her laptop glowed in the dark like a promise she couldn’t keep.

Seventeen tabs, color-coded to perfection. 
Spreadsheets. Timelines. Contingency plans. 

On the screen, everything looked calm. Inside?
Tight chest. Clenched jaw.

Senior director in tech. Brilliant. Trusted. 
The kind of leader who solves problems 
before others see them. 

Except this time, the problem was her own.

“I’m not lost,” she said. “I’m being thorough.”
But thorough felt like a badge and a trap.

We started closing tabs.
One click. Then another.
Each “x” felt like peeling off a layer of pressure.
By the fifth, her voice softened, like she could finally breathe.

“𝗜𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗮𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗽𝘂𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗻𝗲𝘅𝘁 𝗺𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗱𝘀, 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘀𝗮𝘆?” I asked.

She exhaled, like she’d been holding her breath for months.
“𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗾𝘂𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗿… 𝗜’𝗺 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗹𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗰 𝗿𝗼𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝘂𝘁𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆.”

Not a blueprint. A direction. Something her body could say “yes” to.

Her first week looked ordinary: 
• A 15‑minute coffee with a VP she admired
• One courageous DM to propose a cross-functional pilot
• A single page reflecting on what energized vs. drained her last quarter

No big reveal. No perfect plan.
Just small moves that felt doable.
And with each one, the pressure eased.

The truth is: 
Most women think clarity means certainty. It doesn’t.
It means choosing a direction even when the outcome isn’t guaranteed.

When you’ve built a career on being thorough, that feels risky.
But it’s often the most strategic move you’ll make.

𝗤𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘆𝗼𝘂:
If you picked a 𝗱𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 for Q1 (not a perfect plan),
what’s the first 15‑minute step you’d take this week?
And where might you be mistaking thoroughness for progress?

Thank you for the lovely conversation Neety Jain

My conversation with Jaspreet reminded me, 
You can "have it all" and still feel something's missing.

Jaspreet Gill, MBA shared how she built a successful career.
She had spent seven years at Microsoft as a Sales Executive.
She had the title, the respect, the financial stability, 
And the career trajectory most people work toward.

Yet, something felt amiss.
Many women live here:
Everything looks right from the outside.
Life is stable.
But something feels off.

She described it so honestly: 
"I turned 40 and thought: now what?"
The doubts and worries came around like clockwork.

It seemed like a daunting decision 
That posed a lot of risk and uncertainty.
But she took baby steps.

She became a certified High Performance Coach.
She coached women in the evenings and on weekends.
She tested the work quietly, without a pivot.

It was then her passion became too obvious to ignore.
The more she helped other women thrive, 
The more she realised this gave her joy.
And she made the decision to quit her job.

This part matters:
She was the only bread winner in her house.
Her husband is a stay-at-home dad raising their kids.

Jaspreet's salary was good
But she didn't find a corporate career challenging. 
There was more to be done,
So she moved to regain her purpose to live.

This wasn't impulsive.
It was deeply considered.
Her heart, soul, mind, and body were pushing her 
Toward this leap of faith.

Today, Jaspreet is building her coaching business, 
Working with women who look successful 
— but feel stuck or question their next chapter
While navigating leadership or entrepreneurship.

One line from our conversation stayed with me:
"Clarity is not certainty. Clarity comes from action."
And another truth we kept coming back to:
"You can be deeply grateful for your life 
— and still want more."

This wasn’t about quitting a job.
A corporate career is safe
And allows you to do the things you like. 
But if you have a feeling it won't be enough, 
Don't ignore that.
𝐖𝐞'𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐨𝐨 𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐪𝐮𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐚𝐦𝐞 𝐣𝐨𝐛 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐚𝐦𝐞 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐲𝐥𝐞!

If you're stuck, Jaspreet offers a simple starting point:
10 minutes walk. No headphones. Just you and your thoughts.

If you're feeling that nudge, 
Take that steps 
Towards what really matters.

𝗔 𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗿: 
You can have a great life 𝗔𝗡𝗗 still want a bigger one.

Wanting more doesn’t make you ungrateful.
It means you’re paying attention.

Ambition isn’t a threat.

It’s clarity. It’s alignment. It’s self‑trust.

I was recently invited by Neety Jain onto 
the 𝘏𝘦𝘳𝘖𝘸𝘯𝘕𝘢𝘳𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦 podcast to talk about 
this exact tension...

the quiet, internal pull so many
high-achieving women feel but rarely say out loud.

If you’ve been feeling the nudge
toward your next chapter… honour it.

Your desire for “more” is not the problem.
It’s the signal.

Cheering on you always♥️

𝗛𝗶𝗴𝗵-𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻’𝘁 𝗯𝗿𝗼𝗸𝗲𝗻, 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆’𝗿𝗲 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗺𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱.
Stay with me on this.

A client told me last week that she sat in her car
for 𝘴𝘪𝘹 𝘧𝘶𝘭𝘭 𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘶𝘵𝘦𝘴 before walking into her house.

Engine still running.
Hands still on the wheel.
Just… paused.

Not because she needed silence.
But because she needed to stop being “𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸‑𝗵𝗲𝗿”
before she became “𝗺𝗼𝗺‑𝗵𝗲𝗿”.

And she said it like it surprised her.

Like she didn’t realize how much energy it takes to
• sprint through back-to-back meetings,
• put out a dozen tiny fires no one else saw,
• absorb the energy of everyone around her,
• and then magically downshift into presence the second she walks through a doorway.

𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗻𝗼 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗵𝗶𝗴𝗵-𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻.

We’re told to 
“manage stress,”
“prioritize self-care,” or
“set boundaries,” but...

no one is teaching women
how to 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀
in a day that never stops.

And your nervous system pays for it.

Your brain actually needs 𝘮𝘪𝘤𝘳𝘰‑𝘣𝘶𝘧𝘧𝘦𝘳𝘴,
tiny clarity‑speed‑bumps, to shift gears.

Without them?
Your system stays in “go prove yourself”
mode until bedtime.

Here’s the good news:

These transitions don’t require a 
sabbatical,
a quiet home,
a perfect routine, or
a color‑coded Notion board.

Sometimes the most powerful shift is a 𝟯𝟬‑𝘀𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗱 𝗽𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲:
• 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗗𝗼𝗼𝗿𝘄𝗮𝘆 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗲𝘁
  Hand on the door. One breath.
  Name your next identity.
• 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗢𝗻𝗲-𝗟𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗗𝗼𝘄𝗻𝗹𝗼𝗮𝗱
  Write one sentence:
  "𝘛𝘰𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘳𝘰𝘸 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘴 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩..."
• 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗦𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗰𝗵
  Change one thing: playlist, lighting, watch face.
  Tell your body: "𝘚𝘩𝘪𝘧𝘵 𝘯𝘰𝘸"
  
Tiny, realistic, human speed bumps that tell your body,
“𝗬𝗼𝘂’𝗿𝗲 𝘀𝗮𝗳𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘃𝗼𝗹𝘂𝗺𝗲 𝗱𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝗻𝗼𝘄.”

High-achievers aren’t broken.
They’re overstimulated…
 and no one ever taught them how to downshift.

If you know a woman who needs this today,
feel free to repost it so it reaches her.

Stop asking, “What’s next?”
Start asking, “What's my next move?”

High-achievers love future-proof plans.
But progress rarely starts with certainty.
It starts with honesty.

When you’re in transition, the question isn’t:
“How do I map the next 5 years?” 
It’s: “What's one move that feels aligned today?”

Because 𝗰𝗹𝗮𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗶𝘀𝗻’𝘁 𝗮 𝗰𝗿𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗯𝗮𝗹𝗹. 𝗜𝘁’𝘀 𝗮 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗮𝘀𝘀. 
And compasses only work when you move.

𝗠𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘂𝗺 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘀 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗺𝗶𝗰𝗿𝗼-𝗱𝗲𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 that feel true now, not perfect plans for later.

If this landed for you, share it with someone 
who’s been overthinking their next step. 

Sometimes, one line can change the way we move forward.

Being the smartest person in the room can hold you back,
if it becomes your ONLY strategy.

If you:
🧠 Lead with logic instead of influence
🧠 Assume results speak louder than relationships
🧠 Skip clarity because it feels “obvious” 

The reality?

That doesn’t read as 𝘣𝘳𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘪𝘢𝘯𝘵.
It reads as 𝘥𝘪𝘴𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘯𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘦𝘥. 

Leaders don’t rise because they think sharply.
They rise because they make people
FEEL safe, clear, and aligned,

𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆’𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗺𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗼𝗼𝗺.

That’s what gets you promoted.
That’s what gets you seen.
That’s what gets you trusted.

If you’re ready to step into the next level of leadership,
follow for more guidance on career advancement and influence.
